Welcome to the Lost Girl’s Guide to Finding the World!

Hey! I’m Ashlyn and I’ve pursued the most extreme adventures possible in 52 countries: I've flown in a military jet with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, driven a team of Alaskan Huskies, summited mountains over 6000 metres (cue real-life avalanche and erupting volcano), bungy jumped and sky dived in the same day, and trekked a 120 kilometre trail in the backcountry alone while encountering 6 bears. I'm also a professional-level PADI scuba divemaster and an avid surfer, hiker, runner and lover of the outdoors.
I’m not your typical traveller. So come along with me on my next biggest adventure: Antarctica!
